Overview

Property Details

Casa Fiesta is located on the Pacific side of Costa Rica on a mountain overlooking the marina of Flamingo and Potrero bay.

Our 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom securely gated home is tastefully furnished to meet the needs of the most worldly of travelers, yet still giving you an authentic Costa Rican experience. Meet your on site English speaking caretakers who are there to make your stay more comfortable by providing daily maid service, grounds keeping, pool maintenance and security during your stay. There is a nice BBQ near the pool.

Every bedroom allows you to wake to the same spectacular cliff top ocean view overlooking the beaches of Portero and Flamingos Marina, from your private deck area. Email us for a virtual tour of every room and the magnificent views from our villa.

All this from a lounged position next to the pool or step back 2 feet into the shade of your open air living space and bar area.

Party on either the wrap around upper deck or the pool facility where you and your guests can sip Pina Coladas while experiencing the golden red sunsets over the color palette of a 180 degree of water and islands from your cliff top location.

The location gives you easy access to the popular west coast surfing town of Tamarindo approximately 12 miles away without the congestion of being right in town. Privacy is what draws one to the cliffs over Potrero. (

The house is perfect for a family, several couples or just some fishing and golf buddies; Not to mention the great shopping in Tamarindo for the wives. Take a day trip to Coco, the first port of entry into Costa Rica, where one gets the Third World flavor while shopping in the local Tico shops. For the very adventurous you can drive the short cut to Coco via the Monkey trail.

(a 4 wheel drive is advised)

. Our home is located near the top of a mountain accessible by dirt road only. Not easy to get to, but worth the trouble. Never more then 3-4 cars passing our home a day. It is very quiet.

A pictures says what 1000 words cannot, so email us and we will email back picturesand a virtual tour to further seal the enticement to the enjoyment Casa Fiesta is certain to provide.

My girlfriend and I stayed at Casa Fiesta for a week a few months ago. The house had the most amazing ocean views. At night there is a cool breeze, And no neighbors to deal with.The house is very comfortable with everything that we needed. You do need a 4wd car to stay up in Pacific heights, but we were happy to have a 4wd for our exploring of the area.The caretakers,Diego and Jennifer speak English and do a great job in the house and with recommendations for the area.They live in separate quarters and never seem to be around unless you need something.I would stay in Casa Fiesta again if i come back to this area on a future visit. The house is set up so that if 2 couples shared the rental, they could each be on separate floors (with ocean views from their bedrooms) making it very private for both.

Absolutely Amazing!!! Bucket List Vacation!

Dear Alexis and Mike,

You were correct when you said the trip to Costa Rica would be an adventure. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your home with us. Diego and Jennifer were amazing, so helpful and good to us. The house was breathtaking, I felt like I needed to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming! Diego took us on 3 excursions and Jennifer’s Dad made dinner for us one evening. What a gift to have these resources right there for our taking. It could not have been more convenient. Portrero was so quaint and welcoming, we enjoyed the fact that everyone knows everyone. The food was great, we may have gone to Las Brisa’s three times. It was so exciting to be there during the soccer tournament and root for Costa Rica to win! The people are so dedicated to their team and country. Diego mentioned that you may be selling one of your homes. Please keep in touch, it would be nice to stay in either place again. Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your homes with us.

This place needs some updating and fumigating! The views are lovely and the house is decent, but we ran into some issues during our stay. The toilet upstairs didn't work, the dishwasher was broken, and the outdoor furniture was torn through and unusable. There was a BIG pest problem, we had spiders, ants, scorpions, and mice in the house while we were there. The manager, Diego is a nice guy, but was a little controlling about things like opening the shades and the screen doors and what we could/couldn't do during our stay. The house has razor wire and cameras around it, which makes it seem like it has a security problem. With a little TLC to the house, this review would have been different!

Owner's Response: On rare occasions you will see a scorpion around at any property you stay at throughout the entire region.
It’s very unfortunate that this guest mistook our English speaking caretaker as being “controlling” because of his suggestions to keep screens closed once lights are on at night to alleviate the possibility of the bugs being attracted to the light. Ants are an issue in any house in this climate if you leave crumbs out. Most of our guests are very thankful for Diego and Jennifer’s knowledge of life in our beach area, being born here gives them limitless knowledge of how to live comfortably in a country so recently ( some say too quickly) moving from 3rd world status to a popular “adventure” destination for all sorts of tourists. ---Seasoned and otherwise.
We just spent a week at Casa Fiesta ( May 25th) and did not encounter any of the problems that this guest is writing about. It is obvious from what was written, that this guest unfortunately is not aware of the nuances of traveling to Central and South America.
The toilet was not broken, but as is well known by anyone that travels to this area of the world, paper products are not thrown in the toilet due to the sensitive septic systems used in those countries.
I’m sorry to say that due to the large size of one of our guests that week, the bottom of one of the outdoor pieces of furniture gave way and, while still usable, had to be repaired after their departure and will be replaced at the end of a very full rental season.
The dish washer worked fine so I am not sure why she never mentioned it to the caretakers that they had a problem with it. They would have been happy to help.
Note: That there was certainly not a complaint said about how immaculately clean the Villa is kept by our on-site caretakers. It is unfortunate that this guest was someone that should have stayed in a tourist Hotel away from the nature of Costa Rica instead of a rather privately secluded mountain top overlooking the ocean 180 degrees below.
Lastly, We say in our form letters that coming to our amazing mountain top is an “Indiana Jones meets Joan Collins” , as travelers either love Costa Rica and it’s adventurous spirit or hate it because although there are amazing hotels and homes cropping up, the country still lags behind as far as infrastructure.

Excellent way to experience Costa Rica

First and foremost this villa was pure enjoyment for my wife and I. For five days we had a visiting couple and for five days it was just us. Things to be aware of, you are not in a hotel, you will experince Costa Rica life with posh of course. The caretakers, Diego and Jennifer (married) are priceless. Diego knows the ins and outs of the area and is very charming, besides in the morning you will never see them unless you need them. The home is very private and with NO peering neigbors. This was important to us as we wanted to get AWAY! The pool and patio area was great for hanging out with a hammock and nice grill. As it turns out, Diego's parents own a small grocery store in town and Jennifer's family owns a very good restaurant in town as well. The town is small and very locally served but Flamingo, Brasiito, etc are close by. I have no problem recommended this home for an enjoyable stay in Costa Rica. Safe travels.
